It's been said before, but it bears repeating: The moment at which a technology can be said to have "matured" is that point at which it is first useful for pornographic purposes. Is it reprehensible that AT&T cable will carry the Hot Network? Maybe. But AT&T is actually showing a remarkably astute awareness of American consumer-tech history. The VCR owes most of its early success to the world's oldest value-proposition. And let's not forget the camcorder (now with ZeroLux Vision), the telephone (clear and private telephony = 1-900-Nymphomercials), pulp printing, and, of course, the Internet. Palmtops are even beginning to blush with color and should begin growing hair any day now. Yep. A big surge in demand for Digital Cable is on the naked horizon.
